FLESH EATER (Zombie Film) — 6:30 PM
Directed by Bill Hinzman – 1988 – 90m. All Seats $10.00 for this movie only!
A “spiritual sequel” to George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead that takes place entirely on Halloween night, Flesh Eater is a hypnotizing 16mm gore epic that overflows with autumn vibes, killer synthesizers, and wall-to-wall denim.
On Halloween night, a group of twentysomethings take a hayride through the woods. At the same time, the First Zombie from Night of the Living Dead (director Bill Hinzman) is resurrected from his grave by a construction worker. Darkness falls. And with it comes an army of bloodthirsty, undead maniacs, all led by First Zombie on a mission of brain-chomping carnage. Flesh Eater is a fitting tribute to Romero’s chilling masterpiece, updating the setting to the late 1980s while piling on the gut-munching, throat-ripping, and limb-tearing action. Newly restored in 4K from the original 16mm camera negative!
SILENT MADNESS in 3-D (Slasher Film) — 8:30 PM
Directed by Simon Nuchtern – 1984 – 90m. All Seats $10.00 for this movie only!
One of the few slashers produced during the early 1980s revival of 3D movies, Silent Madness knows exactly what audiences want. And it delivers. A glitch in the computer system at an asylum for the criminally insane results in the release of the wrong patient – a homicidal maniac named Howard Johns. It’s up to Joan Gilmore (Belinda Montgomery, Dynasty), one of the institute’s top doctors, to track him down as the killings begin. Utilizing dreamy gelled lighting, excellent 3-D photography from Gerald Feil (Friday the 13th Part III), and over-the-top kills, Silent Madness is a blast from beginning to end — now newly restored from its original 3-D negative by the 3-D Film Archive in partnership with Vinegar Syndrome.
The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Ave NE in the Nob Hill area.
